My Favorite Jean Shorts

Jean shorts can be tricky. Just like everybody is different, so are jean shorts. The trick is to find one’s that flatter your body type while following through with the look you’re going for. I like a wide arrangement of styles so I have a variety of favorites. Let’s get started!

First thing’s first…color. I pretty much love all denim. In the right place and look you’re going for, you can pull off anything IMO. If I like a pair of shorts, I think about the whole look I’m going for, not if they will look good on me. Second, the fit. ALL DENIM SIZES & BRANDS FIT DIFFERENT. Read that again. I do not care what size they say, I go with what fits. I have jean shorts that range from a 2 to an 8. Honest. If they are Levis 501 (above pic), I like them fitted. If I’m rocking a mom short, I get them bigger. They’re meant to look that way! Now let’s talk length…

Short, medium, and long(ish). For shorter shorts, My go to’s are Levi 501, and Abercrombie Mom Shorts. The mom shorts look longer online..trust me..they’re not. If you choose to wear shorter shorts, Go with a top with sleeves. Longer the better. It balances out the look and flatters the shorts more.

For medium length, I have been loving Targets Frayed Hem, and American Eagle Boyfriend. For Target I went TTS for a more fitted look because they are longer in the front and back but cut up on the sides. Having them loose makes it look like they don’t fit quite right . AE Boyfriend also TTS but they’ll fit a little looser so you know you have the correct size.

For longer length shorts, I like the American Eagle Mom Shorts. They fit oversize and are really comfortable. TTS. Wear these with a fitted shirt or tank top as oversized on the bottom and top can make you look frumpy.

Loving the shorter shorts with a flowy top. These are AE 90s Boyfriend

Here are another pair of AE distressed boyfriend shorts

These are the Target high rise frayed in white.

These are my top favs for the season. As you can see, I like all kinds but I love distressed. Most of these come without if you prefer. Once you click on the page you can look at the other options.
